Chapter 1143 (You Can Also Claim the Throne)
Qian Yuqing blushed, "You, this unmarried girl, really have no filter. No one will want you when the time comes."
"Haha, Sister-in-law is embarrassed." Ye Yuanqing teased, noting that only in front of his elder brother could his sister-in-law be like this.
Ye Yuanqing's arrival indeed improved the atmosphere and brought a slight moment of happiness to Ye Hua.
"Big Brother, Emperor Huang Fei has died..." Ye Yuanqing said solemnly, then looked at her elder brother.
Qian Yuqing's eyes widened, exclaiming, "What? The Emperor is dead? When did this happen?"
"A few days ago."
It seemed like Ye Hua did not hear it at all, continuing to contemplate his own matters.
"Big Brother?" Ye Yuanqing called out softly.
Ye Hua looked up at his sister, then sighed lightly, not seeming to care at all.
However, Ye Yuanqing had a speculation in her mind. The Emperor's death must be related to her elder brother. She came this time to inquire about it.
"Big Brother, about the Emperor's death..."
Before Ye Yuanqing could finish speaking, Ye Hua said softly, "I ordered it."
"Ah!" Both Ye Yuanqing and Qian Yuqing exclaimed simultaneously.
Ye Yuanqing only had the speculation, but never expected it to be her elder brother. Her mind was a bit slow to respond.
"Big Brother, why?" Ye Yuanqing didn't understand. Why would her elder brother act at this time? If he wanted, he could have done it earlier. Why now?
"I don't like him!" Ye Hua said coldly. That damn Huang Fei! He died without any pain!
Indeed, Huang Fei himself didn't feel anything; he simply passed away.
Qian Yuqing was a bit afraid, worried that Ye Hua might start a war with the Spirit City. The strength of the entire Voidless Empire was scarce, especially compared to the Spirit City, which could be a problem.
Having lived with Ye Hua for some time now, Qian Yuqing knew little about the military strength of the Voidless Empire. Even if the Seven Deadly Sins fought individually, like Qing Xu, he could poison a large area wherever he went. Adding the sucking technique of Ye Zizi, and even with Wei Chang's technique, many people were powerless!
Unfortunately, Wei Chang was currently missing, whereabouts unknown.
"Big Brother, why did you suddenly take action now? Big Brother, do you want..." Ye Yuanqing asked.
Ye Hua lightly waved his hand, and the conversation with Huang Fei appeared.
Ye Yuanqing was shocked, quickly asking, "Big Brother, what about Mother Le Jing?"
"Mother's supply of Spirit Spring is running out and was wasted by a palace maid!" Ye Hua said coldly, full of anger.
"Huang Fei sent this palace maid?"
Ye Hua said in a deep voice, "Yes."
"This Huang Fei is truly despicable!" Ye Yuanqing exclaimed with hatred. He deserved the punishment!
Ye Hua calmly asked, "What's the situation in Spirit City now? With Huang Fei dead, who will become the Emperor?"
"Big Brother, your popularity is soaring right now. As long as you are willing to go back, Prime Minister Shan said that you can definitely become the Emperor of the Spirit City!" In Ye Yuanqing's mind, if her elder brother really killed the Emperor, then he should have aspirations for the throne.
However, Ye Yuanqing was mistaken. Ye Hua killed Huang Fei not for the throne. In Ye Hua's heart, the throne was just an accessory.
"No interest. I still have many things to deal with here." Ye Hua replied calmly. The throne was nothing compared to his mother's illness and Wei Chang.
In Qian Yuqing's mind, she also felt that Ye Hua should go back and fight for it. After all, the Emperor of the Spirit City had more deterrent power here. That Emperor could control many planes, and even the Sapphire Continent was just one of the larger planes.
However, when Ye Yuanqing heard what her elder brother said, she felt a sense of disappointment. Her elder brother was not interested.
Ye Hua got up and walked to his sister, patting her shoulder, and said, "Yuanqing, you can also claim the throne."
"Me? Big Brother, don't joke. No woman has ever become the Emperor of the Spirit City." Ye Yuanqing said nervously, shocked by her elder brother's terrifying idea.
Ye Hua chuckled lightly, "Yuanqing, big brother killed Huang Fei with the intention of paving the way for you. If you sit on the throne, what's the difference between you and big brother?"
Ye Yuanqing never expected such a layer of thinking from her elder brother. She was deeply moved. Her elder brother actually paved the way for her and even offered her the throne, a throne that made everyone envious. He trusted her so much.
"Tell that Prime Minister Shan, whoever stands on my side is wise. Otherwise..." Ye Hua issued a death warning. Standing with him meant at least avoiding death, while standing against him meant only one possibility - death.
"Big Brother, I... I'm not mentally prepared yet." Ye Yuanqing was, after all, a woman. This throne was not like a daughter-in-law's position. From her elder brother's perspective, it was about letting anyone sit on it.
Ye Hua was not in a hurry and said softly, "It's okay. You'll get used to it. Spend these days playing around with big brother. Think about how to go in the future. Big brother does want you to sit on the throne. Who said women can't sit on it? Big brother wants you to break this tradition!"
Hearing her elder brother's words, Ye Yuanqing was also filled with passion. Yes, for years she had been trying to prove that women could do what men could do!
"Thank you, big brother. I will think about it carefully." Ye Yuanqing said respectfully.
Ye Hua was very good to his sister in his heart. He felt that Yuanqing was also very sensible, even more so than his own younger brother.
"In a while, Juetian is going to get married. Attend the wedding and then go back." Ye Hua added.
Ye Yuanqing exclaimed again, "Ah!!! Little Tian is getting married? With whom?"
"Yuqing, take Yuanqing to have a look. I still have many things to consider."
Qian Yuqing knew that Ye Hua had been troubled during this time and had many things to do. She gave Ye Yuanqing a meaningful look, and Ye Yuanqing understood immediately.
"Big Brother, Sister is going."
Ye Hua nodded.
The two women walked outside, and Ye Yuanqing curiously asked, "Sister-in-law, what's the story with that palace maid?"
Qian Yuqing sighed helplessly, "Too much has happened during this time. Little Tian likes that palace maid."
"Little Tian likes that palace maid? What's going on? Didn't that palace maid harm Mother?" Ye Yuanqing felt her brain was not enough. This relationship seemed a bit complicated.
"Yuanqing, actually, I think that palace maid might not have been sent by Huang Fei. Ye Hua might have misunderstood, but Ye Hua is very sensitive about this matter, and he doesn't have a good expression no matter who mentions it."
